EPISODE J-322 THE ARMY-NAVY GAME - Written by Sid Dorfman; Story by McLean Stevenson As the 4077th settles down to listen to the Army-Navy football game on the radio, it comes under artillery fire. The unit mobilizes to protect the patients. Henry Blake is wounded by shrapnel and patched up by Radar. But there is a more important problem: one of the bombs has landed in the center of the camp and doesn't explode. Hawkeye calls Col. Hersh at HQ and asks him what to do about it. The Colonel's instructions are interrupted from time to time by developments in the game, but he tells Hawkeye not to disturb the bomb. He has to see if it is still ticking. If it is, the Colonel wants to know the serial numbers of the bomb. It's ticking, but numbers turn out not to be from North Korea, China, Russia or Poland. Hersh suggests they call the Navy and goes back to the football game. Meanwhile the 4077th is pinned down by enemy fire. They can't evacuate the hospital because of their own minefields and can't get help because the Army-Navy game is being transmitted on the field phone. Finally a call comes telling them the bomb belongs to the CIA. Once it stops ticking it detonates in two minutes. Hawkeye and Trapper, padded by mattresses, go out to defuse the bomb. Not long after they have begun, the bomb stops ticking, but instead of exploding it disgorges hundreds of leaflets reading "Give Yourselves Up, You Can't Win. Signed, General Douglas MacArthur." Navy wins the game and Father Mulcahy wins the pool.
